Connect IBM CPLEX to Matlab on MacOS

I'm using

addpath('/Applications/CPLEX_Studio_Community128/cplex/matlab/')

addpath('/Applications/CPLEX_Studio_Community128/cplex/examples/src/matlab/')

there is not error message but when I use

ver

CPLEX doesn't show up in the toolbox kits

When I look at the documentation https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSSA5P_12.6.3/ilog.odms.cplex.help/CPLEX/MATLAB/topics/cplex_matlab_overview.html I do not see any indication that it is intended that cplex will show up when you use ver ?

ver works by looking through directories on the path for Contents.m files that are actually data in a special format that gives information about the package. Add-ons are not required to supply Contents.m files, and the format of the data ver expects is not described in any obvious place.

I followed this link https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/Support/KB/Docs/UsingCPLEXwithMatlab

Unfortunately I am not considered a Student or Academic, so I do not have free access to CPLEX to examine the files :(

You can download CPLEX for free if you're interested. CPLEX is really cool if you're trying to do optimization. I am trying to do linear programming.

Also I looked into the links and tried all suggestions but not able to get CPLEX integrated. CPLEX should show up inside Matlab menu if it is connected according to their site.

"As part of our effort to make optimization pervasive we made our mathematical optimization products free for academic use 6 years ago. 4 years ago we removed license files, enabling the use of CPLEX offline for teachers, researchers and university staff. We are now making a further effort by allowing any student to use CPLEX for free. "

I am not a teacher, researcher, university staff, or student.

"The licensing cost vary, and you would need to talk to IBM sales to get an exact answer for your use case. It's free for academics. Commercialy, if you want to use cplex only through a modeling language and only for yourself on a single machine, you can purchase an AMPL/CPLEX for $9500. IBM doesn't post their price list, but from page 4 of this gurobi presentation, a license that would allow you to deploy an application in production was around $72,240."

Unfortunately $9500 is a bit out of reach for me.
